1 answer

The Russian imperial methods of political control were relatively successful in establishing and maintaining authority over a vast and diverse empire. They used a combination of military force, bureaucracy, and a carefully controlled network of nobility to assert control over regions and populations. However, there were ongoing challenges and pockets of resistance, particularly from minority groups and regions with strong nationalist sentiments, which ultimately contributed to the downfall of the Russian Empire.
